Based at the centre of the Monterosa ‘three valleys’, Gressoney is actually two villages – Gressoney-La-Trinité and Gressoney-Saint-Jean, and is situated in the high mountains of Italy that border Switzerland. Champoluc and Alagna are also part of the Monterosa ski circuit, which is home to 180km of pistes that range in height from 1,200m to 3,200m. That offers some incredible descents and off-piste potential.
With its predominance of red runs and range of terrain however, the region is better suited to more experienced skiers but there are a couple of nursery slopes in the valley.
